Abstract:
A discharge tube comprised of a cylinder ceramic envelope sealed at its two ends by plate-shaped positive electrode and negative electrode, wherein the entire outside circumference of at least the negative electrode end of the ceramic envelope is printed with insulating ink, whereby it is possible to prevent insulation degradation due to deposition or dirt or moisture on the surface of the envelope and greatly lighten the burden of handling and maintenance and management.

Abstract:
It is an object of the invention to provide a discharge tube in which the electrical insulating property between the discharge trigger wires is not deteriorated by the sputtering substance generated when discharge is conducted between the upper and the lower discharge electrode. There are provided sub-discharge trigger wires 50 at the center of the inner circumferential wall of the airtight cylinder 10 under the condition that the sub-discharge trigger wires 50 are electrically insulated from the upper and the lower discharge electrode. At the same time, there are provided discharge trigger wires 30a connected with the upper discharge electrode and discharge trigger wires 30b connected with the lower discharge electrode in the upper and the lower portion of the inner circumferential wall of the airtight cylinder 10 at which there is no possibility of adhesion of the sputtering substance 40 generated in the process of discharging conducted by the upper and the lower discharge electrode. A distance between the discharge trigger wires 30a, 30b is electrically reduced via the sub-discharge trigger wires 50. An initial discharge is stably generated at an early stage between the fore end portions of the discharge trigger wires 30a, 30b and the end portions of the sub-discharge trigger wires 50 located close to the discharge trigger wires 30a, 30b.

Abstract:
A discharge tube is disclosed that includes: an airtight tube having first and second end surfaces each including a metallized surface; first and second discharge electrodes joined to the respective metallized surfaces; and multiple trigger lines formed on the inner wall surface of the airtight tube to extend along the axial directions of the airtight tube. The first and second discharge electrodes are joined to the metallized surfaces so that a discharge gap is formed between the first and second discharge electrodes and the airtight tube is hermetically sealed. The trigger lines include one or more first trigger lines connected to the metallized surfaces and multiple second trigger lines isolated from the metallized surfaces. The second trigger lines are formed at equal intervals on the inner wall surface of the airtight tube and each first trigger line is formed between a corresponding pair of the second trigger lines.

A gas filled switching electric discharge tube comprises: a cylindrical body (1) made of insulating material; two electrodes (2, 3) for airtightly closing both ends of the cylindrical body; an electric discharge gap, an airtightly closed space formed in the cylindrical body including the electric discharge gap being filled with gas; metallized faces formed on both end faces of the electrodes of the cylindrical body; first trigger wires (10a, 10b) formed on an inner wall face of the cylindrical body, connected with the metallized faces; and second trigger wires (10c) formed on the inner wall face of the cylindrical body, not connected with the metallized faces, wherein the first electrode face and second electrode face are plated with copper or silver.
Abstract:
A three-electrode-discharge surge arrester has two opposing discharging parts of a pair of line electrodes, defining a gap therebetween, and a ground electrode disposed between the two discharging parts and provided with a penetration hole in the center. Each of the two discharging parts has a substantially conical shape. In accordance with this substantially conical shape, each of inner surfaces of upper and lower parts of the penetration hole of the ground electrode is substantially funnel-shaped. Hence, oblique parallel gaps for a primary discharge are formed between the substantially funnel-shaped inner surfaces of the upper and lower parts of the penetration hole and the two substantially conical discharging parts. Also, parallel gaps for a secondary discharge are formed between peripheral parts of the ground electrode around the penetration hole and peripheral parts of the line electrodes. Each of the oblique parallel gaps is formed narrower than each of the parallel gaps.

The 3-electrode surge protective device includes: a surge protective device body including: an earth electrode; a ceramic cylinder; and a pair of line electrodes; and a fail-safe spring including: an elastic mount portion; and a short-circuit portion, a conductive material that is sandwiched between the fail-safe spring and the body; and a pair of first lead pins provided on the pair of line electrodes; a second lead pin provided on the earth electrode. In a normal state, the conductive material support the short-circuit portion at a separation position where the short-circuit portion is separated from the outer peripheral face of the body and the first lead pins. In case where the body is overheated and the conductive material is melted, the short-circuit portion is moved to a contact position where the short-circuit portion comes into contact with the second lead pin and the first lead pins.
